<p class="p6"><strong>Call for Papers (deadline: June 20, 2015)</strong></p>
<p class="p6">The concept of “disaster” has been subject to discussion among anthropologists. In its proper sense this notion refers to a sudden, calamitous event causing a serious disruption of the society: typically an earthquake or a flood. But in disaster studies it encompasses a wider array of events such as terrorist attacks, epidemics, plane crashes, as well as territorial remodeling, reservoir projects, migrations, and settlement projects for nomadic ethnic groups. Researchers have indeed identified common reflection points and social dynamics that can be object of comparative analysis in these various cases. This international workshop aims to gather researchers involved or interested in such a perspective. In order to widen our view, we propose to introduce the notion of “upheaval”, which is less negatively connoted while sufficiently open to embrace various cases of big changes (planed, expected, abrupt), affecting or not the territory, but either way strongly disrupting a population. The goal is to examine this theme from an anthropological point of view.</p>
<p class="p10">如何定义“灾难”，人类学有着长久的讨论。灾难在通常意义上是指：会引起社会震动坍塌的突发性灾害事件，如地震、洪水等。然而，人类学的灾难研究所关注的其实是更为宽泛的事件，其中既包括突然与消极的灾变（如恐怖袭击、流行病、空难等），也包括有规划但影响巨大的激变（如改造拆迁、水库工程、移民及牧民定居工程等）。事实上，学者们基于案例已开始反思性地提倡：应在对灾变事件的社会动态性探讨中纳入比较研究的视野。为深化学理对话和拓展考察视野，本工作坊将引入“激变”一词来形容强烈地影响了一定人群的巨大变迁（消极或积极），而不再局限于通常使用的消极的“灾难”概念。 <a href="http://u.osu.edu/mclc/2015/04/01/disasters-and-upheavals-cfp/#more-8907" class="more-link">(more…)</a></p>
